Global creative audio network Squeak E. Clean Studios has added Kleio Kolitsopoulos as a producer out of its NYC studio. With over a decade of experience telling memorable stories through sound, Kleio will leverage her multidisciplinary music production background to produce a wide range of projects for Squeak E. Clean Studios.
As an artist herself, producing/writing music under the name Kleio Kol, Kolitsopoulos spends her time outside of Squeak E. Clean endlessly creating–whether it’s tied to her own music, producing records for independent artists, or composing music for TV, film, and commercials. Most notably, she has produced and composed commercial work with clients including John Deere, Nike, Mazda, UPS, Verizon, World Woman Foundation, and Mountain Dew.
Squeak E. Clean Studios executive producer Kit Winter noted, “Kleio brings such an infectious energy and enthusiasm to everything she does, on top of her music and production experience which is top notch. She is the rare trifecta of a composer with audio engineer background combined with a production approach that excels at building strong client relationships. She has the innate ability to bring customized approaches to her clients across creative, technical and the production side of every job she produces.”
Kolitsopoulos added, “Squeak E. Clean is a powerhouse of talent and creativity that I’m excited to grow from and with. The scale of work is massive and the producers are of a caliber of their own.”
A first-generation Greek-American born and raised in New York, Kolitsopoulos grew up with a deep appreciation for the American dream, coupled with a kaleidoscopic exposure to the arts from a young age. Following studies in business management and audio engineering, she began her career in the music tech space at cloud-based music creation and collaboration platform Indaba Music (acquired by Splice) as a business development coordinator and was eventually promoted to manager. Embracing the startup mentality, she wore multiple hats while overseeing production and strategic partnerships with premium brands including Spotify, Sony Music, RCA, Epic Records, Universal, Capitol, Republic, Warner, and Atlantic Records. In 2019, she teamed up with a friend from college to launch a boutique music production and sync shop in Brooklyn, where she spearheaded operations and eventually production, rapidly transforming the duo into a thriving company with 50+ global artists. After two and a half years there, she now takes on her new role at Squeak E. Clean Studios.
